Recently I worked on a customized self-service password reset (SSPR) solution leveraging FIM 2010 R2. The SSPR functionality provided out of the box by FIM 2010 R2 is quite comprehensive. In the design sessions with the customer, they decided that they wanted to use a higher level of security for users on the Internet to be able to reset their passwords. This certainly makes sense—exposing an interface where corporate users can reset their passwords is a boon to the service desk, but introduces a significant threat surface and associated security risk.
